Educational institutions

Educational institutions face unique cybersecurity challenges as they protect vast amounts of sensitive student and staff data while maintaining open access for learning.

Unique Challenges for Educational Institutions

Educational institutions and school districts collect extensive data that cybercriminals highly covet. Every year, they gather more information from incoming students and staff, including salary amounts, banking information, and personal data. Failure to secure this information puts students, staff, and entire districts at significant risk.

The shift to remote and hybrid learning has dramatically expanded the attack surface. Students and teachers use devices at home, in libraries, and at coffee shops with public Wi-Fi, creating multiple entry points for cyber threats. When an infected device returns to the school network, malware can spread rapidly across infrastructure.
